My Taoist companion just wants to welcome and refuse

Zhou Linxuan was between Xia Qi and Xu Shen, the vines on his body stretched their teeth and claws wantonly, as if they were constantly absorbing his spiritual energy and vitality, and gradually grew thicker and longer.And his black clothes were torn, and his exposed flesh was black and gray.

Xu Shen was not in a hurry to make a move, even though he had sucked the magic energy, the whites of his eyes were stained black by the magic energy, but he still had human consciousness, and he was spending his time watching his classmates rebel.

But the gloating smile was a little more bloodthirsty.

Xia Qi didn't expect that the "farmer and snake, me and Zhou Lin" he had teased to Fu Wan before became a prophecy again. Thinking of saving Zhou Lin in the snow and fog on the coast of Shenxing, and Bian Qiuguang and his classmates confront each other. Zhou Lin's heart...he suddenly felt his stomach twitch.

I can't say how sad and angry, just a little tired and self-deprecating.

He looked at the person who was protecting the foreign enemy who had the vengeance of destroying the family, with a calm expression: "Zhou Lin, I once said that whichever hand you hurt the same family, I will cut off your hand."

Zhou Lin's turbid eyeballs moved slightly, he met Shang Xia Qi's gaze, and after a few breaths, he slowly bent his neck and lowered his head.

The upper body hangs down accordingly, and the chin-length hair covers his mottled face and... Xia Qi's disappointed eyes.

Then he slowly raised his arm covered with tattered cloth, pointing at Xia Qi, the black nails flashed a sharp light, and the vines all over his body shot towards Xia Qi at the same time, as if turning into an overwhelming viper.

Xia Qi swung his sword around among the vines, the sword light flashed and cut off the vines, but the vines regenerated in an instant——

If you don't directly kill the person who provided the aura vitality, the vines will be endless.

The price Zhou Lin paid was too great for being reduced to this half-demon, half-human appearance.Relying on demonic energy is enough to quench thirst by drinking poison, and it is not even considered a help in cultivation.

Xu Shen devoured the magic energy, made up for the broken golden core, and turned the deed into a demon, using the magic energy to strengthen himself.

However, Zhou Lin was parasitized by the demon species, but he was constantly devoured, and his own cultivation level was not as high as Xia Qi's. No matter how powerful the vines were, in Xia Qi's eyes, his whole body was still full of flaws.

But Xia Qi didn't kill him for a long time. He clearly knew that Zhou Lin had lied to him and everyone else, but he felt unwilling.

Not for himself, but for Bian Qiuguang, who brought Zhou Lin back to Xiaoshan and gave him a chance to change his fate.

Lianguang once again chopped off the vines with one sword, Xia Qixuan pressed the blade on Zhou Lin's side neck, and asked in a cold voice, "Why did you betray Xiaoshan? Did you ever think you were a demon hunter?"

Zhou Lin's muddy eyeballs trembled, his expressionless face twisted heavily, but the vines all over his body seemed to have their own consciousness, shooting towards Xia Qi.

Xia Qi had no choice but to let go of Zhou Lin to dodge again, but saw that the vine didn't show any intention of closing in, and actually sank into Zhou Lin's shoulder blade. The vine absorbed and digested the blood quickly, and swelled up a bit.

Xia Qi frowned, and suddenly saw Zhou Lin stirring his lips, his voice was hoarse, not like a living person, as if every word was rubbing blood in his throat.

"... I hate Bian Qiuguang... If it wasn't for him, why would my Zhou family have to suffer for generations... Take me back to Xiaoshan, but humiliate me with a disagreement... Xia Qi, I hate you too... I hate everything people……"

The vines bared their teeth and claws almost ferociously, Xia Qi looked at the opposite weak figure in astonishment, his heart still sank because of these words.

And in the group of vines, Zhou Lin's emotionless voice was like a wandering soul wandering in the underworld: "Kill me... Xia Qi... kill me..."

Xia Qi frowned again, vaguely aware that something was wrong.

With a gleam in his hand to block the heavy blow of the vine, the whole person took advantage of the momentum and flew several feet away.

However, as soon as he landed, he was keenly aware of a raging killing intent attacking from behind.

Instinctive reaction and experience made him not hard-wired, and disappeared in place in an instant, dodging and falling not far away.

I saw that Xu Shen's expression of watching the play disappeared completely, and his dark eyes cast a poisonous light, staring at the shining light in Xia Qi's hand.

The demonic flames around him surged, slowly covering the sky, and the shadow of the black wolf and beast surged violently, and the angry voice was surrounded by the roar of the beast, resounding through the wilderness——

"Hand over Lianguang!"

Xia Qi knew that Lianguang was a thorn in Xu Shen's Chen illness, and it always showed that he was not as good as Bian Qiuguang, and it got deeper and deeper.

Seeing the combination of Lianguang and Xiaoyaoyou at this time, Chen's illness finally festered, and Xu Shen went completely insane.

Xia Qi clenched the hilt of his sword, and replied coldly, "I will trade my life for it."

Xu Shen approached menacingly wrapped in demonic flames, Xia Qi was fearless, with serious eyes, and raised his sword to meet him.

He finally met Xu Shen.

At the same time, Xia Qi saw the vines attacking him from the corner of his eyes, but in the next breath, he was suppressed by a burst of domineering saber light, and smashed to the ground.

Fu Wan's message came from the Shadow Ring, which was concise and to the point: "Nian Nian and I will clean up the monsters around you for you."

Xia Qi didn't dare to be distracted, and in a short while had a few tricks with Xu Shen.

The sword energy cut through the snow, and the beast shadow roared and shook the sky.

Xu Shen's cultivation surpassed Xia Qi's. Although the golden core was broken, after being filled with magic energy, his moves were filled with vicious and sinister.

But Lianguang's swipe and stroke aroused Xu Shen's anger, causing him to ignore it and faintly lose his composure.

Xia Qi happened to be calm and sharp at this time, and he dealt with it calmly, not losing the wind for a while.

He took the opportunity to send a message to Fu Wan in Shadow Ring: "Brother, you and Nian Nian go to gather all the family members and the wounded in the residential area. This strange magic circle is about to stop working. The runes in the family area have aura and have a defensive effect... ...Also, leave Zhou Lin alone for the time being."

Fu Wan didn't ask any further questions, and ordered the rest of the disciples to eliminate the demonic beasts, and immediately suppressed Zhou Lin to leave the city wall.

Before leaving, he said in a deep voice, "Xia Xiaoqi, come back alive."

Due to the change of the Xiaoshan resident, Fu Wan and Xia Qi were the only seven envoys left.Xia Qi knew the worry in the other party's heart, so he couldn't help but replied with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll wait for your monthly payment for half a year."

Seeing that he was still thinking about it, Fu Wan felt a little funny, so she didn't return to avoid distracting Xia Qi.

In the time of these few words, Xia Qi was knocked back several steps by Xu Shen's sudden and predicted attack.

Only then did he realize that he was careless. As Yue Luo's apprentice, Xu Shen had fought Bian Qiuguang several times over the past century, and even learned Xiaoyaoyou, so he naturally knew Xiaoyaoyou's moves like the back of his hand.

Xia Qi didn't panic either, he stood with a sword in his hand, his expression was indifferent, the black cloak was lifted by the strong wind, and the golden lines glowed faintly in the morning light.

"Governor Xu is very good at planning and plotting against my disciples. Is it because Yunzhang can't get the disciples he wants?"

In fact, Xu Shen didn't take Xia Qi seriously. When he saw the head of the sect, Ying Jie, changed positions, he knew that Bian Qiuguang was hopeless. Hands on.

I don't mind chatting with him for a while: "You said that kid who was parasitized by the demon seed just now? It works. He left Xiaoshan to go on a mission, and when he was not prepared to plant the demon seed, he told him about the refining process on the way to patrol. The soul magic circle can take away half of the demon soul, so he believed it."

Xia Qi tricked out what he wanted to know, and fell into deep thought again.

He has never seen a demon seed before, but he has learned from the classics that it is a seed produced by a special plant supported by demon energy. If people eat it by mistake, they will be sucked in vitality and spiritual energy, and eventually become the soil of monsters.

However, the incubation period is long and external force is required.

The soul-refining circle stirs up the demon power in Yaoxiu's body, which is naturally the best catalyst.

In other words, before Zhou Lin was seriously injured and fell asleep in the shadow of the city wall, it was not Zhou Lin's will that opened his hand suddenly, it was his body that couldn't help himself...

No wonder the other party showed a frightened and disgusted look at that time. It turned out that it was not for him, but because he knew that there were plant roots growing in his body, and his limbs gradually became uncontrollable.

But this time breaking the defensive circle of the city wall, Zhou Lin has completely become a fertilizer for the parasites of the demon species.

A hundred years ago, Shifang Pavilion was also a well-known and upright school. Now that there are so many ghost tricks, Xu Shen's tricks are beyond Xia Qi's imagination, and he is inevitably angry.

He laughed and said, "Governor Xu made a lot of money by relying on the opportunity of the fall of the old master, and now he wants to snatch Lianguang, who is showing this nostalgic appearance?"

"Steal?" Xu Shen sneered, and flicked the snow foam on his robe, "Even if the master falls, his things will belong to Shifang Pavilion. Bian Qiuguang has long since betrayed Shifang Pavilion and came to Shifang Pavilion 20 years ago." You stole Lianguang, I just want to get it back."

Xia Qi's face was indifferent, but he was taken aback for a moment.

It turns out that Lianguang was stolen by Bian Qiuguang when he went to pick up Zhou?

However, Xu Shen deceived his master to destroy his ancestors, was cruel and insidious, and after the old pavilion master's fall, he made Nan Feng very polite and happy, so he really didn't deserve to keep Lianguang.

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of something, and asked aloud: "I've always been curious. It is rumored that the old pavilion master fell due to a demon. Is this demon... related to you?"

Before Shen Xinghai learned that the old pavilion master had fallen due to a demon, which just gave Xu Shen the opportunity to incite the disciples in the pavilion to go to Lingying Mountain.He just felt that the timing was too coincidental, if it wasn't for the opportunity given to Xu Shen by God, then it was Xu Shen who made it artificially.

A playful smile appeared on Xu Shen's face, as if someone had finally discovered his most satisfying and secretive layout, and even had some appreciation for Xia Qi, so he didn't mind explaining the confusion to this smart and keen junior.

"A hundred years ago, Master's deed beast was infected by demonic energy. Master was confused and tried every means to treat it. Seeing that the deed beast was getting weaker and weaker, he refused to give up. I just helped him seal up the deed beast that was about to be demonized. Unexpectedly, Master heard the news when he was seriously injured, but he didn't survive."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, remembering that in the dark hall at that time, Yue Luo's Qi beast neighed in pain under the oppression of the forbidden technique. .

Xia Qi frowned after hearing this.

A hundred years ago, the art of controlling beasts in Shifang Pavilion was practiced by monks who grew up with beasts from childhood.

Different from other uninspired animals, Qi beast can communicate with people, and even transform into human form as its cultivation level grows.

For Yue Luo, Qi Beast is his closest companion.

Xu Shen started from Qi Beast, killing Yue Luo who was seriously injured at that time.

Xia Qi saw that Xu Shen was very familiar with the tricks of the past, so he took the opportunity to ask: "There are really no tricks. I haven't discovered that Pavilion Master Xu had already planned it when he was in Lingzhou."

Xu Shen laughed, but his smile was a bit cold: "That kid Liu Shi is very talented and knows how to be flexible. It's a pity that he fell into your hands. But if you were my apprentice, after my training, it would have been you at that time. In Lingzhou, it’s not just blowing up the mere spirit mines.” When he said this, he seemed to think this proposal was good, “How about it? Now that the sect master’s ring has been lost, there’s still time to come to Shifang Pavilion.”

Xia Qi held his sword lazily, unmoved: "I love you, Pavilion Master Xu's favor, I still can't stand it."

However, his heart sank suddenly after hearing Xu Shen's reply, and his blood was completely cold——

What Xu Shen said was completely different from what he was referring to.

The biggest movement in Lingzhou was the bombing of Ling Mine.

If Xu Shen is the person behind the evil in Lingzhou, how could he not know what Yang Huai did in Shen Xinghai, the secret realm of Changyao?

Xu Shen didn't know about the secret realm of Changyao, which proves that there are other people who plotted the plot; and now Xu Shen uses Lingying Mountain's taboo, calligraphy and magic circle, and can also use magic energy, which proves that the plotter is exactly beside Xu Shen people.

Xia Qi suddenly remembered the "he" that Liu Shi mentioned before his death, it seemed that it was indeed not him, maybe it was the person behind the scenes.

For a moment, he only felt that Xu Shen was pitiful and hateful. He thought he was the most successful strategist, but he didn't want to become someone else's pawn before he made a move.

Xia Qi already knew what he wanted to know, so he straightened up and put away his sloppy body.

"I originally wanted to ask Pavilion Master Xu, what should happen if the Xiaoshan defense line collapses and the monsters endanger Nanfeng. Now, it seems that the Shifang Pavilion is with the monsters. I must have found a way to resist the monsters without losing money and fearing the monsters." , It’s the best of both worlds. But if I were you, I would check the person who gave you this idea, whether he wants the century-old foundation of Shifang Pavilion to be destroyed by monsters, or he just wants to drag Yunzhang to be buried with him.”

"It's just what you need," Xu Shen said lightly, with an interesting smile on his face again, "Xia Qi, it's a pity that you are here, but Bian Qiuguang has a good eye. How about releasing the rest of the demon hunters?"

Xia Qi heard from Xu Shen's words that there was indeed someone behind the scenes, it seemed that Xu Shen wouldn't say much now, he could only pry his mouth open.

He slowly pulled out the light, and the morning light fell on the Xueliang sword, reflecting light as cold as frost and falling on his temperatureless eyes.

"How could you fail to teach your apprentice well, and still covet other people's apprentices? Your apprentice said that he was waiting for me below, and he must be lonely. Please trouble Pavilion Master Xu to go down and tell him that I have a long lifespan. Will not fall into the same layer of hell with him."

Xia Qi thought of something again, tilted his head slightly, and showed a sharp and cruel smile, "But there is no need to be afraid of Liu Shi. Pavilion Master Xu destroyed Lingying Mountain, and he has suffered countless karma for a hundred years. He must be in the underworld, and it will be very lively."

Xu Shen saw that Xia Qi failed to get his senses many times, so he also stopped laughing, feeling a little regretful.

"Lingying Mountain... It's a pity. The demon king died in my hands, but I searched all over Lingying Mountain but couldn't find his bones. The Treasure Pavilion in Shifang Pavilion finally lost a sea dragon tendon for collection..."

Before Xu Shen finished speaking, he raised his head and raised his sword suddenly, and received the sword with a thousand-ton force from Lianguang.

Behind the sharp and cold blade, Xia Qi's face was stern, his eyes were full of extreme hatred, and he squeezed out low words from between his teeth.

"court death."

The strong killing intent that suddenly ignited all over Xu Shen's hair shuddered.

Xu Shen was slightly surprised, Xia Qi has always been loose, as if he had to laugh a few words first in any situation, and he didn't know how his tongue grew.

Now, he just mentioned Lingying Mountain casually, and he was instantly ignited with raging anger...

Where does such hatred come from?
